The Department of Housing and Urban Development has an ongoing need for quality reliable data on home sales and pricing. The data required by HUD is used by PD&R to analyze, predict, and plan for future housing trends throughout the country. Because of the need for timely and specific data, HUD must have information on residential home sales, including pricing, that identifies transactions to specific levels of geography. PD&R economists and researchers will utilize the data to produce reports for public distribution which has historically impacted planning, investments, and construction where they are needed most and provide the most benefit to the nation. Understanding sales trends in various communities will permit HUD to produce timely usable data to further its mission and move towards proactively addressing future housing needs.

According to preliminary market research, Hanley Wood is the sole provider for informational services via its Metrosearch Online tool that satisfies the requirement and meets the minimum data requirements listed below.
